Q6600 or E6850
4 gig ram (corsair prob)

St3V3_C

I don't have anything special as PC's, but put a bit of effort into the network...






In there are: Cable modem, wireless router, a 16port Netgear Gigabit switch, 1TB of storage in Raid 1, and a UPS with a power feed back into the house for the cordless phones.

FastFordChris

dont let eagle see that!!

your psu is mounted at the bottom of the case?, the psu you have usually sits at the top of a case with the fan faciing downwards

i just wondered how the fan was holding up, if ithe bearings had started squeeling at all?

how long have you been running it like that?

purple_fiesta

Ah I see, About a month ive had it there! Seems fine, temps are nice and its not noisey

iTrader: (5)

this water cooling my mates had in his for years and never had a problem with itm hes just does the cpu though and his temp was getting any hotter than 22 degrees

mine i got off another mate for Ł20 and comes with a water block for graphic card but not good as im going to be using 2 cards soon

UBster

Good work on the 19" Enclosure! Tidy setup and a good idea with the UPS for the phones

danneth

any reason why you didnt like it or are you a platform based person

BM08

Im sure hes got more than one reason, heck the people who play it dont even like it its just the gameplay that keeps us coming back

Nah it aint THAT bad i suppose, just too many issues with the damn thing

FastFordChris

80! 60's mad enuff! cant wait! my rig might be built by then!

danneth

counterstrike

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

never played counterstrike

heard mix rumours about it, well ive never played any other pc game so far bar the battlefield series as nothing beats it yet

i may get call of duty 4 as that does look good

FastFordChris

yes mate its going to be carnage, 64 player is bad enough especially on karkand or warlord maps

ive been trying to build my pc for 2 years now but having building the cosy and other stuff its just at th eback of the que it will be soon though

Eagle

iTrader: (2)

water cooling......
i get carried away though


my personal favourite

danneth

counterstrike does still the most played game online and its been going 6 years now still the main game at all the tournaments/lans/leauges too should give it ago

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

think ill stick with the bf range

alot of my team mates have counterstrike but they always return to battlefield after a day or so

danneth

thats because there sick of been killed without knowing what day it is
